Our Q&A with gay author and activist Michelangelo Signorile was good times.
I wrote about Hank Stuever's book Off Ramp for Out. Their site doesn't have the link, so here it is:
Out Magazine, July 2004
Throughout this collection of articles by Stuever, an openly gay Washington Post staff writer, he finds the profound in life's minutiae. A piece called "Other People's Stuff" hilariously chronicles America's "crap crisis"—over 9.7 billion cubic feet of stuff is saved in rental storage units—but also reveals our fear of leaving the past behind and points out the inherent loneliness of a life devoted to consumerism. "Modern Bride," which could be read as a cautionary tale for marriage-minded gays, details a straight couple's overwrought preparations for their ever-expanding $25,000 wedding. Gayer yet, "Evil Queens" parses the symbolic cultural meaning of Survivor's out nudist winner, Richard Hatch.—Christopher Carbone
